Late goals from Manchester City earned them a 4-2 fightback win over Southampton that relegated their opponents from Premier League 2 Division 1.

Southampton took a 2-0 lead at City Football Academy through Nathan Tella's fine solo goal just before half-time and Sam McQueen scoring from a corner after the break.

But City found a way back when Sadou Diallo scored before Rodney Kongolo's curling shot made it 2-2 with 14 minutes left.

Charlie Oliver put City ahead three minutes later while Lukas Nmecha claimed the fourth from the penalty spot.

The victory means City are guaranteed second place behind champions Everton while Southampton go down with 21 points from their 22 matches.
